Can a carbon project succeed if the farmers involved do not understand its value?

When Fashion Becomes Part of the Tourism Experience

Could what we wear inspire someone to visit Uganda? We meet Katende Godfrey from IGC Fashion to discuss how Ugandan fashion and cultural heritage can become part of the tourism experience. Our conversation explores the reinvention of barkcloth, the growing appeal of African design and the opportunities for collaboration between fashion creatives and tourism operators. Fashion doesn't just tell people what we wear. It can tell them who we are, where we come from and why our culture is worth experiencing.

Beyond Carbon Credits, What the Energy Transition Means for Ugandans

Carbon markets are often discussed through emissions, credits and financing. But what do those numbers mean for an ordinary Ugandan? Howard Kiwon of Mandulis Energy brings the energy transition into everyday life, from reliable electricity that allows children to study to cleaner cooking and electric motorcycles that could reduce operating costs for boda boda riders. We explore how carbon finance can support practical energy solutions and why the success of climate investment should ultimately be measured in better livelihoods, greater opportunity and improved quality of life. #ONUganda #EACMF2026 #CarbonMarkets #Uganda

Same Train, Different Carriages, Why Collaboration Matters in Carbon Markets

Everyone agrees that Uganda’s carbon market needs collaboration. But what does meaningful collaboration actually look like? At the East Africa Carbon Markets Forum 2026, Mark Mutaahi, Co-founder and CEO of Carbon Access Lab, explains why government, investors, banks and project developers can share the same ambition yet struggle to move together. Using the analogy of passengers travelling in different carriages of the same train, he explores how understanding each stakeholder’s role, readiness and priorities can help turn conversations into viable partnerships. A conversation about connecting the right people to move Uganda’s carbon projects forward. #ONUganda #EACMF2026 #CarbonMarkets #Uganda
